Its important to build a relationship with the students so that they know that you are there to help them succeed.
Incorporating pictures of previous classes really gains interest in belonging to the school’s community. We have a collage of pictures showing previous graduates in our lab area. This is often a subject of conversation during orientation and admission tours. Often new students will see people they know on the graduate wall and it will bring them the confidence that they too can complete the program.

I planned to use this suggestion it said ("When considering how to best get faculty involved in the orientation process, they should:of them introduce themselves and provide a brief synopsis of their background This is the ideal situation, where students enrolling in a particular major can interact and ask questions of the faculty in that discipline.This allows for relationships and expectations to be formed early in the process')
The online platform has allowed this institutions to incorparate of lot of the needed suppiles or materials right on the platform. This is such a convience for students when they can locate vital information in one central location.
That faculty plays an important roll in retention. Student's really care if faculty know what they are talking about and give them the information they need to that they are learning.
Classmates are also a key component of good retention. Provide students with an opportunity to exchange phone numbers for support
